Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday made a strong pitch for the uniform civil code (UCC), sayingꦗ the Constitution also mentions of having equal rights for all citizens.
Addressing a gathering of party workers here, Modi also said the Bharatiya Janataඣ Party (BJP) has decideꦅd it would not adopt the path of appeasement and vote bank politics.
Modi said the opposition is using the issue of UCC to mislead and provoke the Muslim commun💎ity.
“You tell me, in a home, how can there be one law fo💝r one m𓄧ember and another law for another member?” Modi said.
“Will that home be able to function? Then how will the country be able to function with such a dual system? We have to remember that even in 🃏India’s Constitution, there is a mention of🔴 equal rights for all,” he said.
“These people (opposition) leve🐼l ⭕allegations against us but the reality is that they chant Musalman, Musalman. Had they really been (working) in the interests of Muslims, then Muslim families would not have been lagging in education and jobs,” he said.
The policy of appeasement practised by some is "disastrous" for the country, Modi said during his visit to 🐎Bhopal in Madhya🔯 Pradesh, where the Assembly polls are due this year-end.
Modi said that Pasmanda Muslims, who are backward, are not even treated as equal because of the vote bank politics.
'Pasmanda', a term for backward classes among Muslims, often finds a mention in Prime Minister Modi's speeches, at party forum as well as government events, and how the government has worked🐼 for the deprived without any discrimination.
Modi said that in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, South India, especially in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu, and a number of other states, many castes were left behind from development because of the policy of appeasement.
He also said those suඣpporting triple talaq were doing grave injustice to Muslim daughters.
Triple 𒈔talaq was abolished in Egypt 80-90 years ago. If it is necessary, then why has it been abolished in Pakistan, Qatar and other Musli𒆙m-dominated nations, the prime minister said.
“T🦩riple talaq doesn't just do injustice to daughters...entire families get ruined. If triple talaq is an essential part of Islam, then why was it banned in c⛎ountries like Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia?” Modi asked.
